Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all ingredients and tools, including a springform pan and mixing bowls.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine pistachio flour, melted unsalted butter, and sugar. Press into the bottom of a greased springform pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
  4. Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust. Distribute the baklava pieces on top.
  5. Bake the cheesecake for 40-45 minutes until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.

  7. Slice and serve chilled, drizzling with honey or topping with whipped cream.
